I really enjoyed creating these cards and will probably make a few more before the year comes to a close.

I started off by tearing some white cardstock and layering it at the bottom of the card to form snow drifts. I used a dauber and some bright yellow ink to add the "lamp glow" directly on to the base cardstock. At first it looked mottled and horrible but after a few minutes it dried beautiful and smooth. Next was the stamped sentiment followed by the lamppost die cut, which was fixed to the card with double-sided foam tape to give it a bit of dimension. I glued the ribbon bow and sprigs of pine to the lamp and finished by adding a few snowflakes with an opaque white pen.

My Mum bought me a packet of beautiful die cut holly sprigs the last time we went shopping. If you look closely at the holly you can see it's layered onto gold cardstock and also has some red glitter on the berries.

For those who live in the Brisbane area, the holly sprig was from Calligraphic Arts at Moorooka... it's an Aladdin's Cave of treasures for card-makers!

(I am not affiliated with Calligraphic Arts in any way... but I do love to shop there!)

These cards were made from off-cuts of red and green patterned paper that's been accumulating in my scrap box over the past month or so. I used the gorgeous Tattered Poinsettia die from Sizzix, which cuts multiple sized petals that are easy to assemble into beautiful layered flowers. There's an embossing folder that matches it perfectly... hopefully I've been a good girl so Santa leaves one in my stocking!

My favourite little bear is back... all bundled up and ready for a long walk in the snow. This digital stamp set has Stanley all wrapped up in his striped scarf and cuddly beanie, just as the snow begins to fall.

I have a clean and simple Christmas card to share with you today using the free Stanley image I posted last month. I coloured him with copic markers, fussy cut around the edges and then used some foam tape to secure him to the front of my embossed card. Easy!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Christmas Card challenge this year, I had a fabulous time visiting blogs and looking through the wonderful cards and tags that were created. I feel super inspired right now and have so many great ideas bouncing around in my head for next year.

I'm very pleased to report that all my Christmas cards went in the post box this morning... what a great feeling! I hope you're all finishing the last of your cards too and will soon have them packaged up and ready for posting.

About Me

I love spending time in my craft room designing and creating with paper, fabric, flowers, ribbons, paint... anything I can get my hands on really. I have tried many different arts and crafts and have a particular passion for papercrafts, decorative painting and ribbon embroidery. I love to share ideas and "how to's" with other keen crafters, which is the purpose of this blog. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
